Yes. If you have no activity on your account for 18 months, Choice Privileges points expire. Per the Choice Privileges website, qualifying activity resets the expiration clock on your points for a further 18 months. The points are lost on the first day of the month at 00:00 PT 18 months after your points have posted. For example, with no subsequent activity, points posted on January 5, 2017, will expire August 1, 2018.

Non-Qualifying Activity

The following activities do not count towards resetting your points expiration date:

Gifting points – only the person receiving the points qualifies for a reset of points expiration

Registering for a promotion

Non-point eligible stays

AwardWallet Tip of The Day

If you choose to store all of your passwords locally on your device, instead of storing them in our secure database, you can, and should, periodically back them up into a file. In the event that you delete your cookies, these passwords would be deleted, and with a proper backup you'd be able to safely restore from that backup file. Show me how

Reminds me of the time when my choice points expired due to no account activity for 2 years…it was a sad day.
I asked the customer service center if there’s anything they could do and they said tough luck.

Yes, thanks to AwardWallet is easier to prevent several accounts from expiring.
As the number of partners for hotel accounts is quite limited, avoiding their expiration is harder than for airline accounts.

For everyone’s info, I bought GC from giftcertificates.com and it seems they approve purchases in batches every 60 days. All the purchases were approved at same time even though purchases were made a different times up to a month aparrt. Other vendors may approve more quickly.
